Has anyone seen the Eraserhead DVD that is being sold on DavidLynch.com? Is the transfer any good? I'm assuming he is the owner of the neg. and did the transfer supervising himself. However I have some reservations on ordering it. If anyone has the scoop, I'd love to hear about the disc.

i dunno, but i saw some shit yesterday at virgin that id never heard of. it was a three disc set w/ mulholland dr., lost highway, and eraserhead all on dvd. i forgot what the package was called, but it looked pretty dope. can't buy it though cause the shit wont play on my dvd player back home

there she blows. yeap, that's it alright.

what region is that triple threat dvd?

Quote from: cowboykurtiswhat region is that triple threat dvd?

Region 2

DVDFile reviewed the disc:

Everything about this transfer is excellent. There is absolutely no dirt or detectable age-related artifacts apparent, which will likely prove to be a revelation to the film's enormous cult. Blacks are perfect and contrast terrific. This film has for so long suffered at the hands of poor video transfers that the amount of detail here is at first hard to believe. Shadow delineation is excellent, with fine textures noticeable and many shots delivering a true three-dimensional quality. There is no apparent edge enhancement nor compression artifacts detectable. Truly stunning.

The amazing extras on this Eraserhead DVD come in the form of one complete documentary that runs nearly 90 minutes. In it are new interviews with most of those involved with the film, including stories and footage of the film's inception, development, production and distribution, and a whole bunch of heretofore-unseen photos and extra goodies. Seriously amazing, and likely to prove the case that having the filmmaker involved is essential to creating a great documentary.

What have I got to sell for $39.95 + postage = $50  :(

Have you got a copy yet anyone, so I can hate you?

sounds very inticing. i have a japanese laser disc that is a peice of shit.

Hate me, because an odd-looking black cardboard box from California appeared in my doorway this morning.

Just getting into Lynch and I'd definitely buy this Triple Bill package.  Few questions:

Is this the barebones version of mulholland or does it contain all the bonus stuff?

Aside from that my biggest question is where can I get my hands on it?  Virgin.com makes no mention of it.  Nor does Amazon.com.

Oh, and the dumb question, what region do i need?  I know, i'm a retart, but i'm a loveable retart who needs understanding and kindness, not ridicule.  Thanks

I do not know the answers to the first two questions...but assuming you live in North America and the last time I checked New Jersey is a city in North America...so you would need to purchase REGION  1  dvds unless you have a region free dvd player.                   sorry i could not answer all.

umm, New Jersey's a state buddy.

yo, this movie is crazy. this movie will be great to watch high, considering i felt like i was really high when watching it sober. oh my, david lynch, is there anything you can't do?

you know, i always thought lynch was british before the documentary. he looks like he's british. he has that quality about him. anyway, i was surprised watching the documentary when he spoke in an annoying american accent. some of the mystery is lost... sigh...

That's what makes him so great. He's got such a bizarre mind, but on the outside he's just this quaint guy with a Montana accent and a funny haircut. He also doesn't do drugs and doesn't like to swear. Fantastic!

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Eraserhead DVD. Prior to now, I've only seen it on a bootleg VHS with Korean subtitles. I've never watched it high, but after I first saw it and was blown away, I showed it to a bunch of friends who WERE high, and they couldn't stop laughing at how Henry's pants were hemmed too high. For the entire movie. Kinda ruined the mood, but oh well.

Quote from: GhostboyHe also doesn't do drugs.

Yeah, but I think the amount of cigs and coffee he consumes are probably doing more damage than if he actually did do cocaine or heroin.

In Heaven, everything is fine.

Quote from: MacGuffinIn Heaven, everything is fine.

oh dear. you're very right.

Quote from: MacGuffinIn Heaven, everything is fine.

:cecil checks bible:

too bad for me. im going to hell

I finally got mine today. I love the box it comes in, and the red tissue paper inside. He knows how to make a presentation. I just finished the documentary-of-sorts. It's so wonderful, just to listen to him talk and go off on those tangents. My favorite was when he was talking about his friend who he thought must have been a space traveller in another life. It was so touching.

Has anyone ordered the shorts yet? That's next on my list. I have The Grandmother and The Alphabet on really awful bootlegs, so I can't wait to see clean versions.

Quote from: GhostboyThe Alphabet

this may be one of the most disturbing lynch things i have ever seen. gave me bad dreams man.

IS ONLINE THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS?

Quote from: NEON MERCURYIS ONLINE THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS?

yes, ma'am, it sure is.

I was able to rent the short films compilation (still haven't found a way to see Eraserhead yet) and thought it was some of the most disturbing shit I'd ever seen.  I liked the sound in The Grandmother but I'd be more than happy to never sit through any of those shorts again.

Six Men Getting Sick is my personal favorite. I wish I could somehow see it in its original installation format. I don't remember The Alphabet or The Grandmother being THAT disturbing, but I also was watching it on like 4th generation video, so it took a lot of work to figure out what I was looking at. I think I'll order the shorts compilation next paycheck.

It's one of my fave films by Lynch, it's a sick and mad film, love it. I agree, a bit of a headf**k film to watch on drugs, lol. The girls parents are super scary, especially at dinner. But that  baby, wasn't actually soo ugly. It just represented the fact that it was the last situation he ever wanted to be in.

It's on dvd now? Is it out in the uk on dvd?

Quote from: ***beady***It's on dvd now? Is it out in the uk on dvd?

unfortunately, i believe it is unavailable in the UK

Typical! bloody stupid late uk releases. Drives me mad. meh, I'll just have to wait.

For the UK, "Eraserhead" is only available as:

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages-eu.amazon.com%2Fimages%2FP%2FB00004YVDJ.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg&hash=4582130b4dfba29a5fd1ebcae9f048b2fa1a9265)

Because of this, David Lynch's site will not sell the box set to the UK until 2008 due to the contractual obligations.

However, the 'official' version IS region free, as far as encoding goes, so if you know someone in the US, they could buy it and ship it to you...

2008? Thats years away!
Hmm... Might have to get it from the US then, and that version is definetly compatable with UK?

From my blog (http://trappings.blogspot.com):

I received David Lynch's first feature, 1977's Eraserhead, as perhaps my most-treasured Christmas gift (though a very intuitive friend did give me the book The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family, by Diana Lovell, which runs a close second, and you may expect a review of it very soon). Eraserhead has been very spiffed-up, lovingly restored, and released on disc exclusively through Lynch's overpriced but still impressive website.

This is one of the most original and bizarre films I've ever seen (these words seem to fade even as I type them; almost any viewer would be forced to describe the film as I just did, and I'm sure many before me have). As with Todd Haynes's similarly underground-legendary Superstar, if this film is not the most accomplished or coherent articulation of its creator's vision, it is still probably the most pure, the rich topsoil out of which the rest of the work has blossomed.

The ideas here- the images, the sound, the editing, all of which can clearly be seen, in hindsight, as eternally recurrent in the rest of Lynch- are almost too concentrated. Surely, every disturbing image in the film has some remote correlant in "reality," but I find that allegorical symbolism doesn't do Lynch's work justice. His films are too hermetic in too many ways for this; somewhat similar to Godard, it may actually take viewing more than one David Lynch film to "get" his system of symbols, an emotional and observational lexicon as unironic as it is strange.

There aren't really words to do justice to the "story" of Eraserhead, but: A very stifled and anxious-appearing young man named Henry (John Nance) lives in a city that's all back alleys and industrial anonymity; he loves his girlfriend, Mary (Charlotte Stewart), but the sexual nature of their relationship has led not only to the displeasure of her creepy-catatonic, cloistered-in family, but the birth of a grotesque, inhuman, effluviant "baby"/creature that mocks the now-married young couple from its place on the dresser with its incessant cries and cackles. A dark, mysterious woman from across the hall beckons Henry from his unhappy home. Also, there's a not-so-nice man in the moon (shades of the homeless man in Mulholland Dr.) and a deformed but angelic lady that lives in the radiator (as with any Lynch movie, the genius is that all this makes perfect sense, in a way- he creates an atmosphere that allows it to make sense).

Lynch's obsession with orifices and the desperate human discomfort toward the organic rivals that of David Cronenberg's, but where Cronenberg's version is precise, cerebral, and relatively literal, Lynch's seems to come from the heart; whether it's the nebulous planetary and parasitic holes the camera penetrates in Eraserhead or the more recognizable ear canal of Blue Velvet or the "box" in Mulholland Dr., it's clearly been present from the beginning.

There's an extremely displaced yet almost comfortingly symbiotic connection in Eraserhead, as in all of Lynch's work, between the shapes (images, many of which are literally geometric) and patterns (editing), which is a beautiful thing all by itself- it's self-contained. You could knock yourself out trying to decipher what all the inimitable and unforgettable things you're seeing "symbolize," but it works just as well to follow Lynch's dream-plots through their inspired, sometimes gorgeous convolutions (when everything stops for a moment so the "radiator lady" can appear out of the darkness to sing a simple, soaring little ditty that goes, "In heaven/Everything is fine" on the film's own smaller-scale version of the controlling-metaphor Mulholland Dr. stage, I was completely transfixed; it has a place in my personal Most Perfect Cinematic Moments). The black-and-white cinematography of Frederick Elmes (who later went on to light Blue Velvet, The Ice Storm, and Storytelling) is wonderful and more key to setting the atmosphere (along with that famous Lynch sound, which sonically saturates Eraserhead); the film looks, period-wise, like something that's been discovered on reels in someone's closet and projected for the first time in decades, something simultaneously very familiar and wholly foreign.

In the Eraserhead interview section of the book Lynch on Lynch, ed. Chris Rodley, Lynch elaborated upon the multifarious quarters from which the unequivocal acclaim for the film emanated: "Well, Kubrick paid me the highest compliment. Just before we started shooting The Elephant Man in England, some guys from Lucas Films came over. They stopped in... we were all talking in the hall and they said, "We're glad we saw you, David, because last night... we met Kubrick, and we were talking, and he said, "Do you guys want to come to my house tonight and see my favourite film?" And so they went, and it was Eraserhead. That was a hair of euphoria. Because I think Kubrick's one of the all-time greats. Almost every one of his films is in my top ten."

Later in the same chapter: "John Waters is another guy that helped me out a lot. He did a Q and A or something after a screening of his new film, and he didn't talk about his new film. He just told people they had to go and see Eraserhead!"

The next widely seen film to even attempt what was evidently Lynch's ambition for Eraserhead- to let the audience in on your dream, the most insane idealizations and the most demented horrors of it, risking all the revulsion and accusations of pretension or willful obscurantism that inevitably result- was Matthew Barney's Cremaster 3 (and, to a lesser extent, the others in the Cremaster series), with its similar obsession with cause-and-effect as experienced in dreams; all out of proportion, but with its own immutable, assured logic.

.....fellow xixians.....my eraserhead dvd (unsigned) came in the mail earlier today....2nd day air ups.....and i just finished watching this....everything that been said ...and praised about this film is true...and i agree....i  have never seen it...until now......whiole i agree w/ its not a film for everyone..but anyone who is interested in film on a mildly serious level should see this somehow.....which means about 92% of people here.....as for as the dvd gtoes it  comes in a black "shoebox" looking thing with david lynch.com on it in various places..and a sticker  remminiscant of the struture in 8 1/2....inside  it  has those styrofoam p-nut shell things and red tissue paper....(cool touch)...the dvd case itself is about the size of a 45.....and comes in a slip case cover with the familiar shot of  henry (nance)  w/ the eraser shavings behind him....you  slide the cover off and the case itself unfolds and reveals the dvd itself (the cover art is the shot of henry minus head ....but w/ the baby head instead holding onto the bar)....oh yeah ....i  do not like the sleeve that the disk comes in ...needs to be more protective......but anyway....you open up the two flaps to unveil the book...really cool sh*t....nice pictures....and a explaination of the transfer....ok....i  don't know why i went on about the packaging that much..buit needless to say....its solid.....(just wish it fit easier into a standard dvd rack).....my personal favorite part of the film is the whole sequence when henry and the girl next door are in bed together and the y sink into the pool and  then henry is on stage w/ the  roaming "plant" and then it blees from the roick  and his head falls off...and [sorry,  the film satill hasn't washed off me yet].....but anyway fans people who have seen this know what i mean ......THAT WHOLE SEQUENCE AMONG OTHER REASONS FROM THE GET-GO SOLIDIFIED LYNCH'S GENIUS......HE IS THE PHUCK'N MAN.....after you watch somethin glike this you feel priveledged....and you owe yourself to watch this.....and the added bonus is the fact that lynch taked his time and does things right(on the dvd tip).....that transfer is flawless.......i cannot for the lost highway and wild at heart dvd..................

anyways later......

I saw a 16mm print of this in my film history class last semester and I fell in love with it quick.  That night I d/led the soundtrack.  Today I just bought the dvd from dl.com and I can't wait!  The packaging and the extras sound great, so I think this may be worth the hefty 50 dollar price tag.

It's been said before, but buy Eraserhead and Short Films

or the Box-Set http://ecomm.davidlynch.com/catalog/boxset.php

Netflix starts carrying this on dvd June 7th.  I'm not sure what version, I would imagine the one from his website but I dont know why they would say it comes out June 7th?

From auteur David Lynch comes this nightmarish classic in which a young man living in an industrial wasteland comes to grips with parenthood. Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) inhabits a surreal world rife with grotesque characters and bizarre creatures, not the least of which is his own child, a hideously deformed, squalling aberration. A study in the macabre, this early film features the arresting imagery and dark humor characteristic of Lynch's work.

'Eraserhead' inks online sale deal

The cult hit "Eraserhead," long available on DVD only through director David Lynch's Web site, is now being made available to retailers nationwide through online wholesaler IndieBuyer Inc.

Retailers can order the DVD beginning Monday at prices as low as $32.94, depending on the quantity ordered. DVDs will ship July 1.

Previously, the only option for retailers wishing to carry the groundbreaking 1977 film was to buy the DVD at the full retail price of $39.94, plus an average of $11 shipping and handling, or else carry Asian and European imports that might not be playable on DVD machines sold in the U.S.

Lynch representative Eric Bassett said he chose IndieBuyer to be the film's exclusive distributor because of "its unique ability to reach the best sales force for independent film and our ability to retain ownership of the film."

Also available from the site is "The Short Films of David Lynch."

IndieBuyer (http://www.indiebuyer.net) is an online business exchange designed specifically for retailers and consumers of independent entertainment.

The retail site, which launched in February, combines orders from independent retailers to provide them with volume-buying discounts. A consumer site will launch this year, allowing consumers to make Internet purchases through participating retailers by entering their ZIP code to find the nearest store.

Eraserhead and Short Films get wide DVD release Jan. 10, 2006

Fangoria.com (http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=5223) is reporting that Subversive Cinema is now the distributor for Lynch's Short Films and Eraserhead DVDs. You can still get them from dl.com, but this also means you'll be able to find them in stores as well. The disc content themselves will be the same, but you won't get the booklets or the larger boxes. Both have a suggested retail price of $29.95.

too bad budgie wasn't around when this news was posted.

i was just hoping to get these for christmas (again, since i didnt get them last year).  but now i'm wondering if it's worth it to go through dl.com or just get them in stores?  i guess i wont be saving any money and theres no point in paying for a nice box (to me).  dilemma?

you lucky bastard. you're in for a treat

There's a new 35mm print of Eraserhead playing tomorrow and Tuesday at the Castro, too.  I'll be seeing it Tuesday night and can report back on its quality if you'd like.

tell me this, is this Lynch with actually human sounding dialog or like The Grandmother where the voices are distorted like dogs - or anything like that - way ouuutttt there Lynch - if that even makes sense?

I ask because I may try to get someone else to go. I got him into watching Wes Anderson films and stuff like that, but I could see him making snide remarks, possibly ruining the theatre experience, if it's more experimental - like some of the Lynch shorts I've seen.

Dallas is a 2 hr drive, but I also have a free Darjeeling Limited soundtrack to pick up there I won through an e-mail contest, so I would have more of an incentive to go and kill two birds with one stone. (The same theatre showed Clockwork for this week's midnight film).

Quote from: bigideas on October 28, 2007, 10:52:17 PM
more experimental

Yes! This is the first david lynch film I saw and I still think it is my favorite just because of the experience in the theater. The low rumble that rolls through the soundtrack of the entire film is a trademark for any lynch movie but here it is unrelenting and it adds to the literal and figurative feeling of the movie. The theater I was in had an awesome sound system and the intense bass and various noise combined with the striking and often graphic images on screen made for a pretty disturbing yet wonderful experience. I think your friend might find it a little intense if you're hardening him up with wes anderson movies. And the plot is there but it takes a back seat to the visuals. Still, go fucking see it.

see this movie. just. see this fucking movie in the theater. don't be an idiot. if you're mildly considering it, go. it's the only lynch movie i haven't seen in the theater and i hate that, b/c it's the only one i really ought to have seen in the theater. go. go now. who gives a shit about your dumb fuck friend. see this movie on a new 35mm print even if it kills you. stop reading this post and go.

It's not exactly like that, Wes Anderson is just the most "arty" of films I know that he likes, but I could see him looking at me throughout the film going, 'wtf?'

The other part of the equation is that I don't know the city that well and especially hate walking around big cities at night, especially alone. It will also piss me off if i have to pay $8 just to park somewhere.

have you been to any of the Inwood Midnight showings?
I wonder if they're popular enough that if you don't get there early you won't get in.

I've been to four or five Inwood midnight movies.  I don't think they've ever been sold out, but you never know.  The most filled I've seen the theater at a midnight movie was at The Big Lebowski.

i don't see the necessity of a seperate Dallas/Inwood thread, but they just updated their site for the midnight screenings through the end of the year and there are some good ones with words in the title like: boogie, blade, and the ugly, etc...
